This may be a long post, however I have been trying to find somewhere and a group that I can speak to that can relate to what I have going on currently
I had a spinal fusion C7-T1 in 2022 the nerve was impinged and it was debilitating pain. After the spinal fusion I started to have issues in what I believed to be my left hip. I went to doc and was sent to ortho had x-rays and hip was " bone on bone " i was in some pain with this as well as healing from my spine. I had replacement June of 2024. I was in ALOT of pain from the hip replacement surgery and in fact was in bed for two full weeks with deep pain, and controlled by medication and some home therapy and so on. I started using the walker and was getting to where I could work again LIMITED of course this is a long story short of course. After about a month or so I told my family , friends etc that my surgery ( left leg ) felt so much shorter , and it was causing me to walk w a significant limp. I was told this is normal , give it time, the muscle has to " fully heal " blah blah and so on. I was then told after I went to a orthotic and was advised i was in fact about 1/2" shorter on the left leg that i could try lifts. My surgoen office gave me 4-5 stick in lifts all different sizes ( to me at that time why would we not try to give me the correct lift as I was still healing ) and said at this point it is still healing and come back in 2 months if not better. I did not get better in these two months in fact now i was miserable and still am currently. I went my pcp and he sent me out to see another hip surgeon for a second opinion and he mentioned , that yes he could see i had LLD and still needed to heal and come back first of year and i did still limping and he said lets do an injection in your trochanteric muscle, i thought at this point if i could get some relief i would choose to say ok. one day later i was at work and had the most intense debilitating pain that was in my lower back all the way across which caused me in bed for 3 days w ice and tears i called mutliple times they said you may want to go see your spine surgeon as this is nothing to do with hip
to date i have seen my spine surgeon and now need another fusion and more spine surgeries as the first fusion was not done fully or correctly and the lld with limp has sped up this process of pain in now my spine and lower back even though they all tell me the LLD and limp " has nothing to do with my new onset and current onset of spine issues again "
I had a recent MRI of hip and i have " an overlying fluid collection that could be trochanteric bursitis, seroma or hardware loosening or infection ( thats worrisome ) and I was advised also from spine surgeon ( second opinion as well ) that i again have nerve impingment that was never released in the first spine fusion that is reason for the numbness in left hand to never come back since 22 and now new numbness in right hand this all started in right hand since the hip and limp
so so sorry for this long post i am lost i am scared and i am confused i have been blown off ignored and to be felt like i dont matter I can no longer do things i used to do i am an active 56 year old and have yes in fact gained alot of weight as i hurt when i walk, exercise or just do anything

anyone experience anything like this and told this is all " normal "
